Chapter 3352: WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY

(A)
There is hereby created a state
university to be known as "Wright state university." The government of Wright
state university is vested in a board of eleven trustees, who shall be
appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate. Two of
the trustees shall be students at Wright state university, and their selection
and terms shall be in accordance with division (B) of this section. Except for
the terms of student members, terms of office shall be for nine years,
commencing on the first day of July and ending on the thirtieth day of June.
Each trustee shall hold office from the date of appointment until the end of
the term for which the trustee was appointed. Any trustee appointed to fill a
vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of the term for which the trustee's
predecessor was appointed shall hold office for the remainder of such term. Any
trustee shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of the
trustee's term until the trustee's successor takes office, or until a period of
sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first. No person who has served a full
nine-year term or more than six years of such a term shall be eligible for
reappointment until a period of four years has elapsed since the last day of
the term for which the person previously served. The trustees shall receive no
compensation for their services but shall be paid their reasonable necessary
expenses while engaged in the discharge of their official duties. A majority of
the board constitutes a quorum.

(B)
The student members of the board of
trustees of Wright state university have no voting power on the board. Student
members shall not be considered as members of the board in determining whether
a quorum is present. Student members shall not be entitled to attend executive
sessions of the board. The student members of the board shall be appointed by
the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, from a group of five
candidates selected pursuant to a procedure adopted by the university's student
governments and approved by the university's board of trustees. The initial
term of office of one of the student members shall commence on July 1, 1988 and
shall expire on June 30, 1989, and the initial term of office of the other
student member shall commence on July 1, 1988 and shall expire on June 30,
1990. Thereafter, terms of office of student members shall be for two years,

duties, shall give bond to the state or be insured for the faithful performance
of the treasurer's duties and the proper accounting for all moneys coming into
